pricing hasn't been released, according to the order guide leather is only available on the red or white interior. It also states that the Titanium there is only a 300A not 2 different options for 2013.

Okay, this link makes things make more sense - I guess the visual aids help, lol.

I was thinking, under the new structure you can take an SE and, fully loaded, it's not to far off from the Titanium. You mainly don't get the parking aids and the ability to opt for the Handling Package. At first I was confused by this, because I forgot that they were killing off the SEL and basically absorbing it into the SE. So, in a sense, the changes aren't as big as they seem at first blush.

I'm thinking picking up a 2012 SE Sport was the right choice for me. I don't think there will be anything that quite approaches it in terms of value in the 2013 lineup. To get a similar build, you need the Appearance Package + Black Pack, and that sounds like it could get pricey, considering it includes leather (plus, I've got to think that Ford dropped the word "Sport" for some reason - will the suspension tuning change?). It'll be interesting to price out the 2013's when that info is released, but I think the 2012 SE Sport will prove to be less expensive, even before you consider the possibility of more generous model year-end incentives.

Finally, I ordered Yellow Blaze, which I don't see on the new order guide - that alone tells me I got the timing right!

Did you get the information from your dealer? I have been looking hard for the 2013 order guide and none showed up yet. The one for the 2013 Fiesta can be found. It looks to me like much of the info I put up on my other thread is confirmed.

The DATC and MyFord Touch for the SE is the Technology package and that is the same thing on the 2013 Fusion. Equipped with the Appearance Package, you can make the SE close to last years SEL. However, I have a gut feeling that a few pieces will still be missing. There does not seem to be any further information on pricing (at least for the options). Thus, I would not know if a fully equipped SE will meet, or exceed the price of 2012's SEL. Perhaps those who got the SEL should consider themselves lucky.

As for the Titanium, I (as well as another poster) needs to know if leather can be taken away for a credit. Seems like the Titaniums options are going to be limited compared to 2012. I am waiting for further info to confirm that.

I would like to answer Kam's question about whether you can equip leather into the SE. For that reason (and others), I am still waiting for the order guide/information packet and one of these days, I will post it once it comes out.

PS: It looks like the DATC cannot be equipped seperately on the SE!

It's from the dealer order guide. No pricing guide yet.

The Titanium comes standard with leather, it's standard features include all of the SE Appearance package (which includes leather BTW)
